How Dirk van der Heijden started their other graphic design journey

Summary

At Gemzies (http://www.gemzies.com), we need a 'visual thinker', who can create a few appealing visuals, that clarify 'who we are and what we do' in 2 seconds to our visitors.

Gemzies.com is a web 2.0 platform, on which experts can create ‘their’ dedicated communities, dedicated to specific topics, from Al Gore to ZZ Top. Gemzies provides tools to easily create ‘your’ page, including online video, photos, books and the latest news.
Experts can use this platform to get exposure (pageviews), and show their expertise to the rest of the world.

The 'what we do, and what's in it for you' is NOT clearly communicated on our homepage. We need your support to design few appealing visuals (including short text), that clearly explain our concept to our visitors.

What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

We kindly ask you to browse around our site, to get an impression of the benefits it has to contributors and visitors.

This should get you started thinking on how to ‘summarize’ Gemzies in (a) clear visual(s), for use on our homepage.
Further details can be found in an online briefing on: http://www.gemzies.com/docs/gemzies.pps

Don't want

- Your visuals need to 'match' the current design of the homepage, and subpages of Gemzies (colours, etc.) You do NOT need to 'overhaul' the homepage design.
